Hi Guy's
Everybody THANK YOU for all the info/help so far!
Questions:
Making it last a life time, ( Yeah I know don't use it therefore nothing will wear out.)
Vertical type Mills.
Does anybody have a suggestion or idea about maintence on a mill.
Lube for the table screws?
oil/grease/dry lube?
Gib adjustment? monthly--yearly ?
On the pump luber should you pump it till oil leaks out or is it one shot?
hourly--daily--weekly?
On a system running coolant should this be done more often?
Down feed gears--mothly--yearly-never?
take apart and clean and lube?
Quill?
spindle and bearings?
Does anybody do like a weekend, once a couple of months or yearly where they do all the other maintence?
like setting,checking head tram table square vise and all that?
I am curious to know what other folks do to make there equipment last and be ready to go at a moments notice instead of having to check all this stuff before a job?
Thanks again
